This review is from: An Ear to the Ground (Gideon of Scotland Yard) (Paperback)

For Al Barney, despite he is a taleteller and lay-about, but its no surprise when a necklace as beautiful as the Esmaldi with millions of sparkling diamonds to beautify it. It raises everyone's urge and taste for it. Everyone begins to raise eyebrows at the next person considering the esmaldi necklace's cost. They could do anything to get it even if murder is the only way out. Though Al Barney knows the story of the old Esmaldi Diamond Necklace, with passion, zeal, hatred and jealousy, its still not enough to own the esmaldi. As the story unfolds, it becomes clearer and distinct that it will require more than violent to get the million sparkling necklace. But ironically, the story started and it never ends even when none is to inherit the esmaldi necklace. Once again, chase showcases the Jewel-snatch gang stuff as set in Miami but this time, with an extraordinary amount of potential that will reveal a genius talent in creative art.
